Generally, Orange Wings are not the best of Amazons as pets. I have one with a large vocabulary but I cannot touch him without a net or a towel.
Blue crowned conures are usually very nice pets. Obviously, an Amazon parrot will need a bigger cage than a conure would. All comes down to personal preference.

Did you have him since a baby?

Really? A Blue Crowned conure is much longer than an Amazon though with its long tail and all.
I hatched my Orange Wing and handfed him from day 1. He is about 7 years old now and has a larger vocabulary than my Blue Front Amazon that I also hatched/handfed.
Blue Crowns have a smaller body that an Amazon, just have the long tail that makes them look bigger. When I think of small Amazon parrots, the Tucuman and Spectacled Amazons come to mind.
